HAMDEN, Conn. —<\/strong> En route to being named the Most Outstanding Player of the Frozen Four, Wisconsin’s Kristen Campbell did something that had never been done before.<\/p>\n

Campbell, a redshirt junior, went 3-for-3 in shutouts in the NCAA tournament as the Badgers won their fifth national championship and first since 2011.<\/p>\n

She made 27 saves in No. 1 Wisconsin’s 2-0 victory over No. 2 Minnesota on Sunday at People’s United Center.<\/p>\n

But she was quick to credit her teammates, who blocked 20 shots and cleared out dangerous loose pucks in front of the net.<\/p>\n

“I thank the team in front of me,” Campbell said. “I think that we were willing to do whatever it takes, get the puck out whenever we needed to. It’s a complete team effort.<\/p>\n

“Sure, you can look at a goalie getting a shutout, but it’s all about the team in front of you. They have to be making the plays in front of you for you to get that done. I just couldn’t be more proud of how the team was able to execute in this postseason run.”<\/p>\n

Campbell made 15 saves in a 4-0 NCAA quarterfinal victory over Syracuse and stopped 14 shots in Wisconsin’s 5-0 victory over Clarkson in Friday’s semifinals.<\/p>\n

She finished the season with a national-best 11 shutouts and with a Badgers’ season record of 35 victories. She also led the country in goals-against average (1.03) and was fourth in save percentage (.940).<\/p>\n

The Badgers lost in double overtime in the Frozen Four semifinals last season, with Campbell allowing a Wisconsin career-high four goals against Colgate. That experience helped Campbell this time, Wisconsin coach Mark Johnson said.<\/p>\n

“She came back much more experienced this year than she was last year,” he said.<\/p>\n

Campbell spent two seasons at North Dakota before the school folded the women’s hockey team in a cost-cutting move two years ago. She transferred to Wisconsin and became a top-10 finalist for the Patty Kazmaier Award last season.<\/p>\n

She fulfilled a goal on Sunday, just in a different uniform than she originally expected.<\/p>\n

“When I went to North Dakota, my goal was to win a national championship,” Campbell said. “I couldn’t thank the coaching staff here enough for taking a risk on me and taking a chance to bring me into this program. As soon as I got that opportunity, I knew that I was going to make the most of it.”<\/p>\n

The risk has paid major rewards for the Badgers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
